You need:
openafs
openafs-client
openafs-krb5
kmod-openafs (which must match your kernel version, and variant)
You need to install them all in a single RPM transaction - that is,
with a single invocation of 'rpm -U'
If you have yum available on your system (I'm not sure if RHEL4 ships
with yum, I know that RHEL5, and many of the rebuilt distros do), you
can just install the openafs-repository RPM, and 'yum install openafs-
client' will fetch all of the necessary bits, and keep them up to
date into the future.
